Hazards

Shipping traffic from nearby Athens port; stay aware of commercial vesselsStrong afternoon thermals can create gusty conditions; launch early for stabilityRocky outcrops and shallow areas near shore; scout launch zone before entering waterOccasional strong SSW wind shifts can surprise riders; monitor weather closely

Launch notes

The flat water and beach access make Anavissos ideal for beginners; NE winds are most consistent. Launch from the main beach area where wind funnels cleanly onto the water, avoiding rocky sections on either side.

Gear & clothing

Gear · Bring a 14-17m kite to handle the moderate 11.5kt average winds; a directional or freestyle board works well in flat conditions. Consider a slightly larger kite during shoulder seasons when wind averages drop.

Clothing · A 3/2mm wetsuit suffices in summer (Jun-Aug); switch to 5/3mm for winter months (Nov-Feb) as Mediterranean water temperatures drop to 13-15°C. Spring and autumn allow for thinner suits or spring gear.

Crowd & etiquette

Share the bay respectfully with swimmers and other water users common in summer; maintain left-hand traffic patterns with other kiters. Watch for fishing boats and give them priority in the water.

Additional notes

Anavissos enjoys excellent wind consistency with 158 windy days yearly, making it reliable for progression; the spot stays good year-round except July when thermals peak and summer crowds increase. Plan visits for early morning or autumn/winter for the best conditions and fewer tourists.
